The code below demonstrates the problem. Although I am not specifically typing margin revenue to a number I think AS3 is doing it since I don't have quotes. In my real application i am using a class that does type it to Number.
Just try to sort the marginRevenue column and you'll see what I mean. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.collections.ArrayCollection; [Bindable]private var testChartData:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([{marginRevenue: 6472891.20, theme: 'Theme1'}, {marginRevenue: 4101969.11, theme: 'Theme2'}, {marginRevenue: 28022462.23, theme: 'Theme3'}, {marginRevenue: 16559240.25, theme: 'Theme4'}, ]); ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:CurrencyFormatter precision="0" id="cf"/> <mx:AdvancedDataGrid id="adgThemeList" draggableColumns="false" selectable="false" dataProvider="{testChartData}" width="100%" height="100%"> <mx:columns> <mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="theme" headerText="Theme"/> <mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn id="fieldSort" dataField="marginRevenue" textAlign="right" formatter="{cf}" headerText="Total Revenue"/> </mx:columns> </mx:AdvancedDataGrid> </mx:Application> --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Please post a test case or file a bug.
